BRIAN DOSS, et al.

DEFENDANTS
ORDER

Willard Berry, an inmate formerly housed at the Northeast Arkansas Community
Correction Center (“NEACCC”), filed this lawsuit pro se under 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
(Docket entry #2) Mr. Berry claims that he was sexually assaulted by multiple inmates
and that the Defendants failed to intervene to assist him.
The Court previously issues summonses for Defendants Doss, McFarlin, and
Hardesty. (#7) Those summonses, however, have now been returned to the Court
unexecuted with notations that service for Defendants Doss and McFarlin should be
attempted though counsel for ACC, and more information was necessary to perfect
service for Defendant Hardesty. (#8, #9, #10)
Therefore, the Clerk of the Court is directed to re-issue summons for Defendants
Doss, McFarlin, and Hardesty. The United States Marshal is directed to serve copies of
the complaint and the amended complaint, with any attachments (#2, #5), and summonses
for these Defendants without requiring prepayment of fees and costs or security. Service
for these Defendants should be through Wade Hodge, General Counsel for the ACC,

Department of Community Correction, Two Union Nat’l Plaza, 3rd Floor, 105 West
Capitol, Little Rock, Arkansas 72201.
IT IS SO ORDERED, this 8th day of January, 2016.
